GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

LANs, MANs, & WANs
Networks can be classified is three categories
1. Local Area Network
2. Metropolitan Area Network
3. Wide Area Network
28. +
Local Area Network (LAN)
A network that connects computers and devices in a limited geographical
area, such as a home, computer lab, or office building
29. +
WLAN
A wireless LAN is a LAN that uses no physical wires
Computers and devices that access a WLAN must have built-in
wireless capability, or an appropriate adapter
Very often WLANs are setup side-by-side with a traditional LAN
30. +
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
A high-speed network that connects local area networks in a
metropolitan area such as a city or town
A MAN typically includes one or more LANs but covers a
smaller geographic area then a WAN
Managed by a Network Provider such as a state government,
telephone company, or cable provider
31. +
Wide Area Network (WAN)
Network that covers a large
geographic area, such as a city,
country or the world
A WAN can be one large
network or consist of two or
more LANs
The Internet is the worlds
largest WAN
32. +
Network Architectures
The design of computers, devices, and media in a network,
sometimes called network architecture, is categorized as either
client/server or peer-to-peer
33. +
Client/Server
On a client/server network, one or more computers act as a
server, and the other computers request services from the
server
A server, sometimes called a host computer, control access to
the hardware, software, and other resources on the network
The clients are other computers or mobile devices on the
network that rely on the server for its resources
34. +
Peer-to-Peer
Simple, inexpensive network
that typically connects fewer
than 10 computers or other
devices
Each computer, or peer, has
equal responsibilities and
capabilities
Each computer stores files on
its own hard drives for sharing
Ideal for very small businesses
and home networks
35. +
Internet Peer-to-Peer
P2P describes an Internet network on which users access each
other’s hard disks and exchange files
Sometimes called a file-sharing network
Examples:
BitTorrent
Gnutella
Kazaa
LimeWire
Responsible for the majority of illegal file-sharing on the
Interent
37. +
Network Topologies
A network topology refers to the layout of computers and
devices in a communications network
Three most common topologies:
1. Star
2. Ring, and
3. Bus
Most networks, including the Internet, use a combination of the
three
38. +
Star Network
All of the computers and Node Hub/Switch
devices, called nodes, connect
to a central device, usually
called a hub or a switch
All data is transferred through
the hub or switch
Fairly easy to install
Nodes can be added and
removed without affecting the
rest of the network
39. +
Bus Network
Bus
Consists of a central cable to
which all computers and other
devices connect
The bus is the physical cable
that connects everything
Popular because they are
inexpensive and easy to install
Devices can be added,
removed, and moved with ease
If the bus fails, the entire
Node network goes down
40. +
Ring Network
Node
A cable forms a closed loop, or
ring, with every device
Data travels from device to
device on the ring until it
reaches its destination
If one device fails, the entire
network could possibly go down
41. +
Intranets
An intranet is an internal network that uses Internet
technologies
Intranets usually make company information accessible to
employees
Examples:
Telephone directories
Event calendars
Job postings
Video conferencing
Accessed through a web browser where changes can be made
by everyone
42. +
Network Communication
Standards
Ethernet UWB
Token Ring IrDA
TCP/IP RFID
Wi-Fi WiMAX
Bluetooth WAP
43. +
Network Communication Standards
Today’s networks connect a variety of devices across many
different networks, such as wide area, local area and wireless.
All networks must use similar techniques for connecting
devices to ensure compatibility
Two regulating organizations
1. ANSI
2. IEEE
These organizations propose, develop, and approve network
standards
44. +
Network Communications
Standards
A network standard defines guidelines that specify:
The way computers access the medium to which they are attached,
The type(s) of medium used,
The speeds used on different types of networks, and
The type(s) of physical cable and/or the wireless technology used
A that standard outlines characteristics of how two networks
communicate is called a protocol
45. +
